Quadruped Rig

The Behemoth

This character was created by Ben Miller. I will be using him as my quadruped rig for my rigging study. He is called The Behemoth, and he is a mix between a gorilla and some hoofed creature. Eyeless, he uses his keen sense of smell to wander the tundra in search of his next meal!

Some things I want to include in this rig are:

Simulated muscle deformation with Maya Muscle
Quadruped-Biped blend

Beginning of the Last Quarter of College

That is right! It is now the first week of the last quarter of school for me! I made it and now it's time to make this last quarter count. As I mentioned before, I have two independent studies and my thesis to work on this quarter. I talked to both my professors, and I have a good idea of where I am going with each class.

For rigging, I have two character designs that I hope to use for my models. One is a character by Zac Retz, a student that graduated the year before me from RIT. He has a great style, and I love the look of this little character:

Her back story is that she is a ghost hunter. The ghosts have stolen all the color from the world and she is on a mission to slay the ghosts and return all the colors!

I am currently planning out the rig while the character is being modled by Liu Tain Shu. He's a great modeler, so when the character's finished I'll be sure to post it!

Some things I'd like to include for this rig:

Noodel Arms

Sliding Spine Pivot

Stretchy Arms

Dynamics/Expressions
